My Motivation For Going Back To College

Years ago, I never would have thought that I would be attending college. So much happened so quickly after high school that I just gave up on thinking that college was for me.

potential first-generation college student, the idea of successfully obtaining a degree not only would fulfill personal satisfaction, but also expectations held by my parents. Within my senior year of high school in South Carolina, I was greatly interested in becoming an aerospace engineer; a very admirable profession in the eyes of my parents. After carefully considering Georgia Tech and Virginia Tech, I ultimately settled for Blacksburg to become a Hokie. Unfortunately, the college lifestyle was too overwhelming

of actors, millionaires, etc. Coming from a small town, a not so wealthy family, and being a first generation college graduate, that’s not what success means to me. To me success could be as simple as getting an A+ on an assignment. Now I am going to be talking about success strategy’s that I think are important, and that everyone could benefit from. First I will talk about self-motivation and the benefits it has. Second I will talk about stress management and what you can do to relieve stress. Third
